23. For the purposes of an inquiry contemplated in section 20, a member of the Commission or any other person designated by the Commission may, with the written authorization of a justice of the peace who is not a member of the Commission, enter the place indicated in the authorization to search for, in order to examine it or seize it, any thing that may be useful to the inquiry.

The justice of the peace may grant the authorization, subject to such conditions as he may specify therein, if he is satisfied on the basis of a sworn statement by a member of the Commission or the person designated by the Commission that there is reasonable cause to believe that there is such a thing in the place indicated.

The authorization must be acted upon between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., unless the judge authorizes that it be acted upon at another time. It must be returned, whether acted upon or not, to the justice of the peace who granted it within 15 days after its issue.

No authorization is required, however, if the conditions for obtaining it exist and if, owing to exigent circumstances, the delay necessary to obtain the authorization may result in the disappearance, destruction or loss of any thing that may be useful to the inquiry.
